Ⅳ.阅读理解
In the United States alone,over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year.Cellphones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.
Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste,the concentration(含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed,the recycling process is often carried out in poor countries which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment,or in practically uncontrolled ways which make more wastes generated.
Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material,up to 100 times more,than the material contained in the finished products.Consider again the cellphone,and imagine the mines that produced those metals the factories needed to make the box and packaging.Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.
The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production,distribution,and use of products—as well as management of the resulting waste—all result in greenhouse gas release”.Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start—for instance,buying reusable products and recycling.
In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机) for reducing waste.If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products,would they reduce the packaging in the first place
Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money.Why,they ask,should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫) that encased your television
From the governments’ point of view,a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.
1.What do we know from the Swiss study
A.Natural minerals contain more gold.
B.The weight of electronic goods was by no means small.
C.Precious metals account for a great proportion in e-waste.
D.The percentage of precious metals is small in electronic goods.
2.Which way is incorrect to reduce waste
A.Recycling machines without control.
B.Making as few purchases as possible.
C.Creating products out of finished products.
D.Simplifying the process of manufacturing products.
3.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended .
A.from individuals to distributors
B.from producers to governments
C.from governments to producers
D.from distributors to governments
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.The creation of e-waste.
B.The increase of e-waste.
C.The seriousness of e-waste.
D.The management of e-waste.

(2023江苏常州高二期末)
Today’s grandparents are joining grandchildren on social media,but the different generation’s online habits couldn’t be more different.The over-55s are joining Meta in increasing numbers,meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group,with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila,aged 59,says,“I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing,as my daughter posts videos and photos of them.It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post.I think I’m lucky that I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
However,Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Meta themselves.Children under 17 are leaving the site—only 2.2 million users are under 17—but they’re not going far from their smartphones.Chloe,aged 15,even sleeps with her phone.“It’s my alarm clock so I have to,”she says.“I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone.Peter,38,and father of two teenagers,reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly.He says,“How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself ”So,in the evenings and at weekends,he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages.“I’m not completely separated from the world if emergent,but the important thing is that I’m setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.”
Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend (趋势) for a less digital life
1.How does Sheila feel about social media
A.Useful.
B.Disappointed.
C.Useless.
D.Addicted.
2.Why does Peter take his SIM card out of his smartphone
A.To make calls to his boss.
B.To stop his work.
C.To set a good example to his kids.
D.To catch up with the new trend.
3.What does the underlined word“separated”mean in paragraph 4
A.Different.
B.Figured out.
C.Cut off.
D.Protected.
4.What can we learn from the passage
A.Children under 17 don’t use smartphone at all.

China’s new bullet train is now the world’s fastest land vehicle(交通工具).China Rail-way Rolling Stock Corporation showed the production version of its magnetic levitation(磁悬浮) bullet train in Qingdao on Tuesday.State media says the train has a top speed of 373 mph.That speed doesn’t just make it the fastest train in the world,but makes it the fastest land vehicle.The bullet train is able to travel at such high speeds because of magnetic levitation.The technology uses electro-magnetic force to levitate the body of the vehicle less than two inches from the rails and drive it forward along the tracks.By riding on a cushion of air,friction(摩擦力) is completely reduced,allowing it to travel faster than traditional trains where wheels and rails are constantly in contact.Although China has made use of the technology for a couple decades now,it’s only ever been used at very limited areas.
China Railway says its bullet train will greatly help cut down travel time.At top speed the vehicle will be able to complete the 754-mile trip between Beijing and Shanghai in just two and a half hours.That same trip takes just over three hours by plane,five and a half hours by current high-speed rail options or 12 hours by car.That could make the train an especially attractive travel option for business travelers in the country.It’s unclear when the new bullet train will go into operation.The vehicle that the company showed off on Tuesday is the finished article.
Of course,the train’s record might not stand for long.The Central Japan Railway Company is testing a maglev train.It will be able to top out at 375 mph,according to New Atlas.But that isn’t expected to be shown in public until 2027 at the earliest.That gives China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation plenty of time to refine and upgrade its bullet train and push its top speed even higher.
5.What can we know about China’s new bullet train
A.It is the fastest land vehicle.
B.It is close to the speed of sound.
C.It has gone into operation widely.
D.It has taken the place of the traditional train.
6.What challenge might China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation face
A.The poor management of it.
B.The lack of money used to improve the train.
C.The competition from Japanese company.
D.The shortage of creativity from its engineers.
7.What is the attitude of the author to China’s bullet train
A.Objective. B.Doubtful.
C.Unconcerned. D.Unfriendly.
8.What is the text mainly about
A.The world’s most costly train.
B.China’s new bullet train.
C.China’s modern trains.
D.The world’s fastest vehicle.

In this day and age,digital gadgets(电子设备) have become a significant part of our daily lives. 1 But while gadgets do make people’s lives easier,there are things to look out for in using these technologies.One is how gadgets seem to be taking over people’s social relationships.
You might have noticed how everyone is engaged in their gadgets during family gatherings or get-togethers with friends.While they are constantly clicking on their portable devices,real conversations are becoming rare. 2
So if you want to spend quality time with each other,you and your friends and family need to sacrifice screen time.
3 When you’re hanging out with your friends,make it a policy that all devices should be turned off.Of course,everyone should agree on this beforehand to avoid any misunderstanding. 4 This could also be a house rule when you have dinner with your family or during any other event with relatives.
Another option could be to turn devices on silent mode,just in case someone is expecting an urgent call or important text.It sounds simple,but turning our eyes away from the screen may be more difficult than you think. 5 And while we may be able to carry on a conversation while playing a game,this multi-tasking is definitely going to cause a loss to the quality of the time we spend with others.
By removing gadgets in the background,you and your friends can focus on what’s really important—spending time with each other.
A.Turning off your gadgets is a good first step.
B.They’re also driving us away from people around us.
C.People can therefore concentrate on what they are doing.
D.It seems so natural to reach for your phone or device before doing anything.
E.They are used for a variety of tasks,whether it’s ordering food or booking a flight.
F.And everyone must be willing to cooperate or else the purpose would be defeated.
G.Thus,the opportunity to strengthen connections might be disappearing.

Our economy runs on consumption,especially during the holidays—we as consumers are overwhelmed by emails and ads about the newest holiday gifts.Buying a brand new gift for a loved one,we may feel generous and not feel the environmental impact.But with millions of people doing the same,the resources spent really add up.
Journalist Annalise Griffin recommends people rethink the value of gift-giving and shop in an effective eco-friendly way.
A gift doesn’t have to be expensive,says Griffin.In the holiday shopping rash,it’s easy to forget why we give in the first place.She thinks it’s wise to adopt a more open-minded approach.For instance,pack a gift box with homemade cookies or get the whole family in on the act of paring down by tie-dyeing(扎染) white clothes from a local secondhand store.They may not be pricey but the love behind it counts.
As for green shopping,Griffin practices her way of buying used items instead of new ones.She mentions several websites and online communities where people can buy,give away or trade secondhand items.
Whether we’re making a commitment to cutting out extra spending or showing concern for the environment,it’s vital to share our ideas with the loved ones.It may be hard to convince a teenager not to buy the latest iPhone,so having these conversations early on can go a long way.
1.What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A.To clarify the meaning of holiday consumption.
B.To argue for the use of emails and advertisements.
C.To raise the problem brought by gift shopping.
D.To complain about waste in our everyday life.
2.What does the underlined phrase “paring down” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Reducing the expenses.
B.Protecting the environment.
C.Spending the holidays.
D.Sharing the housework.
3.Which gift is Griffin most likely to recommend
A.A brand new suitcase.
B.A secondhand book.
C.An expensive vintage bag.
D.An outdated iPhone.
4.What message does the author seem to convey in the passage
A.Without gifts,without love.
B.Great gifts always look cheap.
C.Bargaining matters when you shop.
D.Give meaningful gifts without buying new.
Ⅴ.语法填空

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Most passers-by noticed the lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back of the supermarket.She was not young,holding a basket with bunches of flowers.
“Would you like the flowers They are $3.” she asked me as I was walking past.I politely responded “No,thank you”,as I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady,standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers.Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired,her polite quiet voice and lonely figure,I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket.Maybe her family was in urgent need of money;maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands...
I had my own personal struggles,I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me,like many of us all and probably for her too.But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers.My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers.I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same.
When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out.The staff member questioned me about the $3.I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account.And at the same time she pressed the button to process it.I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside.Sigh of relief,I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者让人们重新思考礼物的价值和以一种有效的环保的方式购物。他认为不买新东西,有意义的二手物品也是好礼物。
1.C 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“But with millions of people doing the same,the resources spent really add up.”可推断出,第一段主要在引出购买礼物带来的问题——资源消耗大。故选C项。
2.A 词句猜测题。根据上文“For instance,pack a gift box with homemade cookies”和下文“ tie-dyeing white clothes from a local secondhand store”可知,画线词前后的句子都在表明要减少花费。故猜测短语“paring down”指的是减少花费。故选A项。
3.B 推理判断题。由文章第四段中的“Griffin practices her way of buying used items instead of new ones”可推断出,Griffin提倡不买新东西,买用过的二手物品。故Griffin可能推荐买二手书。故选B项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段、第三段和第四段可推断出,作者在文章中表达了送有意义的礼物而不是买新的。故选D项。

1.It 考查代词。分析句子结构,It seems that...“似乎,好像……”,that引导主语从句,it作形式主语,符合题意。故填It。
2.had shopped 考查动词时态。It was the fourth time that...“第四次……”,固定句式,因主句用was,从句谓语动词用过去完成时。故填had shopped。
3.to think 考查非谓语动词。remind sb to do sth“提醒某人做某事”,固定搭配。故填to think。
4.approaching 考查非谓语动词。with复合结构用法,介词with后面的名词短语the New Year与动词approach构成主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填approaching。
5.haven’t bought 考查动词时态。根据句意可知,此处为现在完成时,故填haven’t bought。
6.the 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,介词of为所有格,此处应特指process,用定冠词the。故填the。
7.with 考查介词。the development of technology为名词短语,此处应该作伴随状语,用介词with。with the development of technology“随着技术的发展”,符合句意。故填with。
8.who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构,此处为定语从句,先行词those指人,在从句中作主语,只能用关系代词who引导。故填who。
9.problems 考查名词的数。a series of 修饰可数名词复数形式,problem“问题”,可数名词,用复数形式。故填problems。
10.easily 考查副词。分析句子结构,此处修饰谓语are attracted,用副词形式作状语,easily“容易地”,符合题意。故填easily。
Ⅵ.Nowadays,Alipay,an efficient way to pay,is popular with people.More and more people are switching to this new and unique way.Some advocate using it,as it makes life easier,while others feel it is not secure.
On the one hand,mobile payment has its advantages and disadvantages.As for me,the advantages are as follows:to begin with,it is convenient,which can be used in almost any case.In addition,security—not only can it protect you against fake money,but theft of cash can be greatly reduced.
On the other hand,nevertheless,some oppose it for its potential disadvantages.For example,the old may not keep up with this innovation.Hence,it may result in some inconvenience for them.
Ⅶ.After walking out of the supermarket,I headed to the lady.She was standing there,trembling in the cold.No sooner had she noticed my approach than her weather-beaten face lit up.I said shyly,“I would like to buy some of your flowers.”On hearing that,she instantly put the basket of flowers in front of me,wearing a big and warm smile.The flowers were in full bloom,dancing in the wind.I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted.
I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change.I couldn’t help but ask the price of the flowers.“$3 for all!” she explained.Without hesitation,I told her to keep the change.She took the money with shaking hands,tears welling up in her eyes.As I walked away,I hoped someone else could walk up to her and buy the rest flowers.We were all going through our own struggles but no matter how little we could do,it would make a difference.
